Default Injectors flooded!!

So, I went to a mechanic today since I've been having trouble with starting my car. I'll turn the key to ignition, and it just stopped. So I took it to my mechanic, and he said that my injectors are flooded with engine oil. Where can I purchase some good, or excellent injectors for a pretty decent price?

What sorts of prices should I be looking for?

How hard would a DIY on this be?

You mean your spark plugs right?Not you fuel injectors they can't be flooded with oil.Your spark plugs can if your valve cover seal is leaking..

injectors only get stuck open, won't be flooded w/ oil.

if it is really flooded w/ oil, you're going to need a new engine.

Replacing new injectors aren't hard at all. They sit on the intake manifold. You basically need to remove the fuel rail and any wiring that's in the way. Disconnect the harness from each injectors and pull them out. Just make sure you buy new injectors o-rings and washers before putting them in. Kind of lube the o-rings before sliding the injectors back in otherwise you might damage them. Dont ask me how I know
